4 Climate factors in wind erosion control
Erosion control is vital to the well-being of any construction site or property. Unprotected soil is subject to wind erosion, and the effects of wind erosion can be detrimental to any site, resulting in safety, environmental and economic consequences. Climate factors determine which erosion control method works best for your worksite. What is wind erosion? Wind erosion is a natural process ...

Effects of climate change on aquatic invasive species and implications for management and research
Global change stressors, including climate change and variability and changes in land use, are major drivers of ecosystem alterations. Invasive species, which are non-native species that cause environmental or economic damages or human-health impacts, also contribute to ecosystem changes. The interactions between stressors and invasive species, although not well understood, may exacerbate the ...

Rainwater harvesting and management – policy and regulations in Germany
This paper discusses the most important policies and regulations supporting the decentralized management, harvesting and utilization of rainwater in Germany, where such measures have been increasingly applied during the last few decades. The development and implementation of specific policies and regulations contributed significantly to that trend. They also work as incentives for the ...

What is the difference between a gas analyser and a gas monitor?
Technically, there does not have to be any difference at all. However, semantically, “analysis” might suggest something more scientific with higher precision and better performance than a simple “monitor” which possibly suggests a more indicative output where precision is of less importance. With that said, the two words “analyser” and “monitor” ...

What Is An Altitude Test Chamber?
Pressure or altitude testing is essential for military, industrial, and consumer applications where products or components need to function or be transported in low-pressure environments or withstand rapid decompression in combination with climate control. If your products encounter these environments, or you need to conform to a military or aviation test standard including but not limited to ...

In Situ Biological Treatment for Ground Water, Surface Water, and Leachate
The main advantage of in situ treatment is that it allows ground water to be treated without being brought to the surface, resulting in significant cost savings. In situ treatment, however, generally requires longer time periods, and there is less certainty about the uniformity of treatment because of the variability in aquifer characteristics and because the efficacy of the process is more ...

Reaping the Benefits of IOT Asset Management
The innovative world of IoT (Internet of Things) enabled products and services is growing exponentially. But if you already have equipment in place, can you harness the power of IoT to upgrade and enhance your offering? And, if so, how? You’ll be pleased to learn that it is entirely possible to reap the benefits of IoT asset management. By reverse engineering existing equipment you can ...

In Situ Biological Treatment for Soil, Sediment, and Sludge
The main advantage of in situ treatment is that it allows soil to be treated without being excavated and transported, resulting in potentially significant cost savings. However, in situ treatment generally requires longer time periods, and there is less certainty about the uniformity of treatment because of the variability in soil and aquifer characteristics and because the efficacy of the ...

Analysis of regional climate change modelling experiments for the Carpathian Basin
In the last decade, Regional Climate Models (RCMs) nested in Global Climate Models (GCMs) have become essential tools to make climate projections with fine spatial resolution. In this paper, control runs of the RCMs RegCM and PRECIS are discussed and compared for the Central/Eastern European region. Both RCMs are three-dimensional, sigma-coordinate, primitive equation models, for the control ...

British scientist claims CCS is the solution of climate change
Oxford professor argues that climate change can be solved by forcing the fossil fuel industry to implement CCS to bury their waste products. Climate change can be solved by making all producers of carbon-based fuels accountable for the disposal of the carbon dioxide their fuels ultimately give off as a condition of remaining in business. This was the proposal put forward last week by one of ...

Checklist for Loading Dock Safety & Fall Protection
Loading docks are busy places. And that’s a good thing—that means projects are moving and your business is strong. But the busier you are, the more apt you are to overlook safety. This can be particularly true during specific seasons, like the holiday rush. Even the most insignificant things can cause an accident and slow down production. Since more than one-quarter of all industrial ...

GENAQ: Water from the air
Do you know the working principle of GENAQ atmospheric generators? Its operation is similar to the rain process, that is, our generators extract water from the humidity of the air by condensation. We go one step beyond what nature generates in the form of rain making the water drinkable thanks to a specific water treatment, so that it is optimal for human consumption. All this procedure is ...

Preventing Server Room Melt Down
Storage and processing technology is one of the most common, current generation business models, and has increased at a rapid rate throughout the last decade. The floor plans for data storage centers, educational facilities and processing centers that were once functional may now be completely obsolete as newer, more powerful technology has been implemented. Traditional planning is quickly ...

Quantification of increased flood risk due to global climate change for urban river management planning
Global climate change is expected to affect future rainfall patterns. These changes should be taken into account when assessing future flooding risks. This study presents a method for quantifying the increase in flood risk caused by global climate change for use in urban flood risk management. Flood risk in this context is defined as the product of flood damage potential and the probability of ...

Projection of future streamflow changes of the Pearl River basin in China using two delta-change methods
Considerable biases in precipitation simulations in climate models have required the adoption of delta-change approaches to construct future precipitation scenarios for hydrological climate change impact studies. However, different delta-change methods yield different future precipitation scenarios that might significantly affect the projected future streamflow. To assess these effects, two ...

Burnsville Interceptor Rehabilitation - Case Study
With a budget exceeding $100 million a year in wastewater pipe capital improvements over the next several years, Metropolitan Council Environmental Services takes its job of protecting the wastewater infrastructure of the greater Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area's nearly 3 million residents very seriously. MCES operates eight wastewater treatment plants and 600 miles of interceptor sewers ...

Simulating future trends in urban stormwater quality for changing climate, urban land use and environmental controls
The effects of climatic changes, progressing urbanization and improved environmental controls on the simulated urban stormwater quality in a northern Sweden community were studied. Future scenarios accounting for those changes were developed and their effects simulated with the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM). It was observed that the simulated stormwater quality was highly sensitive to the ...

Chapter 2: Economic models of optimal energy use under environmental constraints
The major purpose of this chapter is to contribute to better policy-making through improvements in models studying the economic impacts of the CO2 problem, and to show ways in which economic instruments can effectively be put to use to alleviate such a problem. This approach differs in at least one major aspect from common studies of the climate change problem. We focus on the analysis, control ...
